Age is a popular topic around here and I’m occasionally asked…
“Am I too old to crossdress?” or “Am I too old to transition as a transgender woman?”
My response?
NO, of course not!
Whether you are a so-called mature crossdresser – or an older MTF woman beginning her transition – it is NEVER too late to be your true female self.
I believe that the true desires or your heart are meant to be expressed – no matter how long they’ve been buried.
Is it true that your age may have an impact on hormone therapy or surgery? Yes, that’s possible. But a good doctor will guide you on your best and safest options.
The fact remains that you can transition and/or present yourself as a woman at any point in life.
In fact, embracing your feminine side can give you a whole new lease on life…
I see it all the time: People seem to grow years younger when they make the decision to be themselves fully.
Having the courage to express your true self also inspires others to do the same. The world needs more of this!
In the words of Laverne Cox:
“It is revolutionary for any trans person to choose to be seen and visible in a world that tells us we should not exist.”
I’ll say it again: You are NEVER too old to be your true female self.
So, I encourage you to take that next step and do whatever it is that you’ve been holding back on.
You deserve it. And it’s not too late!
Do you agree that age is just a number?
Now I’d love to hear from YOU on this topic…
How old were you when you decided to fully embrace your female self? (Or are you still waiting?)
Let’s continue the conversation in the comments below!
Love,

Ive been crossdressing since age 14. Now age 51, ive realized over the last few years im much more comfortable dressing as a lady. Im fully shaven (always) i even enjoy painting my nails!The guilt and shame ive carried my whole life is incredible and senseless. My wife of 28 years has been wonderful since learning of this about 3 years ago, but has trouble with actual transformation. Im not sure where to go from here, but know i have to be myself

I’m 45 and like others have commented on here, it’s been a battle my whole life. Sometimes I can bury her but she always comes back! Hindering your femine counterpart causes many psychological issues that will eventually affect your personal life. For me carrying guilt and shame for both my bisexuality and my desire to be a woman has caused a large amount of insecurity, which in turn has destroyed many of my personal relationships. Since my second divorce in 2012 I’ve explored many aspects of my sexuality and went with the notion of explaining my issues off after problems arose and telling them that in transsexual. Both timed this led to the loss of these long term relationships. Now I’m out with it, to my children some friends and to any woman I meet in hopes of building a relationship. On the downside I’ve been unsuccessful in finding a partner, but I’ve gotten a lot of support and made some very fun and interesting gurlfriends. So to sum it up I’m happy to be middle aged and Krysten, and even though it’s been rough finding a special someone, I will never put her back in the closet! At any age when you decide to free yourself from the chains of societies norm, the sooner you will realize you should’ve from the start.
last week my young lady who does my waxing asked if I would like to meet her mum and wow we just hit it off straight away so looking forward to more coffee and lunches we two ladies together
Hi I have been cross dressing off and on for quite a few years but late 2017 I decided to dress en femm when ever I am not working but I do wear mascara and do my eye brows when at work 2018 is going to be my year for going out so I started at the young age of 72 and am loving it even more as I don’t have to think of anyone else as I live on my own
I am soon to be 66. Having crossdressed for years, I began exploring my feminine side more fully after I retired. While I have dreamed of living as a woman full time, I know that I need a push. I am single and would absolutely love it if I knew how to find a woman that was supportive of my feminine side and perhaps even pushed a little, or a lot. It would make me happy to be accepted.
Anyone else ever feel like you are about to explode. So much inside of me that needs to be expressed. I am an extremely happy man with a wonderful wife, but this woman inside will not shut up. It has been a constant battle all my life that has turned into a war. I am what I am, but what am I. Sometimes I just laugh at myself cause there’s no way to win. I just keep on struggling to keep everything in perspective when everything is in total disarray. The question of am I too old to transition or cross-dress has become irrelevant. I cannot run away from who I am. I just keep on being me, which is tangled up in the middle. I function well on either side of the equation. As far as the too old part goes, I have to say there is no age where a line is drawn in the sand to change what we feel inside. I love being who I am, whether it be the woman inside, the man outside, the woman outside, or the man inside. It is just who I am and have always been and will always be. No matter what paper wraps the package, the gifts we have inside will always be the same. In some ways I think we are lucky to have such a unique perspective, but in other ways not so much. I think life would have easier if there was not so much of me. Life is an adventure and the Indiana Joan or Jones, whichever I turn out to be in the end, will not deny that it has been fun, crazy, happy, sad, but above all else an amazing adventure !!!!!!!!!
P.S. Fedoras come in men’s and women’s styles. Don’t let the treasures stay buried forever. Dig em up.

I hear and understand everything you are saying here. I feel the same way, ( just want to explode at times ). I’m not married anymore, my wife couldn’t deal with it. And that’s okay, I should have told her about how I was before we married. But, the truth is I didn’t know myself what was wrong with me. Just that I like dressing in female clothes. It felt right to me, that this is who I am, or should have been. Now after getting a computer, and doing a lot of reading and research. I now understand this is who I am and how I was born. Nothing that I did just the way my DNA was put together. So, life will go on for me. But how do I make my family understand this. Deanna
I know what you are going through, but the only way is to let her out, at least at home, I just did after many years strugglingwith my wife, and later with my daughter, but I could not wait any longer, now most of the day at home I spend myself all dress up like a woman I’m.
To old to dress en femme. What a stupid idea.
Methinks we have to get rid of all the negative concepts like cross-dressing. If we own the femme styled clothes they are our clothes. Dressing in femme style clothes doesn’t make us gay (though a minority of us are, and that’s OK). Similarly it doesn’t mean we are transsexual (again some of us are, and that’s OK too). Our personality makes us who we are, the clothes we choose to wear are just clothes. In some cases this may be an expression of our personality or they may help us feel good about ourselves. Despite of all the stereotypes that follow the concept of cross dressing, we are are who we are whatever we choose to wear and at whatever time in our lives.
